Studies of Transcendental Execution
Played by Edward Mitchell, Aeolian Harps
Procession of the Magi
(from' Christmas Festivities,' Op. 41)
The last of the Studies we are to hear is one of wonderful delicacy, suggesting the faint, sweet music of the wind as it passes over the strings stretched for its caresses.
The final piece comes from a later set of pieces, described as 'Four Pictures for Piano.'

In the Procession Liapounov, after setting the rhythm of the stately march, introduces an Arab melody of a hymn-like-character, the march plodding steadily along beneath it. Towards the end the piece works up to a pitch of ecstasy with the Arab tune sounded forth amid the jangle of bells, then dominating all in fine dignity.
